18" Aquarian Modern Vintage Medium - Coated

Product Description

The Modern Vintage Medium from Aquarian is a single-ply bass drum head (10 mil) with a special coating that both looks and feels like calfskin. The coating gives a low, warm tone with a soft, cushioned feel on impact. It suits most styles of music and works equally well as a front head or a batter head.

What sets the Modern Vintage heads apart from many other coated heads is that the coating itself is noticeably thicker than usual. That contributes to the warm, slightly softer character many associate with older calfskin-headed bass drums, while still giving you the stability and durability expected from a modern synthetic head.

Sound Character

Thanks to the 10 mil medium thickness, you get a full, warm fundamental tone without the head becoming heavy to play. The thicker coating tames overtones slightly and softens the attack, making it a good fit if you want a round, classic bass drum sound rather than a hard, aggressive punch.

Who It's For

A good choice if you want a bass drum head that brings vintage character to your sound without giving up the durability of a modern head. Works well both as a visible front head, thanks to its calfskin-like look, and as a batter head where the warm tone really comes through.
